Energy development restrictions

On March 25, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a report, “Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Objectives: Final Report,” recommending significant restrictions on energy development, infrastructure projects, and surface mining in areas that are habitats for the greater sage-grouse. If implemented, these policies could impact conventional energy production, renewable energy production, and mining in these areas.
